A scleroscope is a device used to measure the hardness of materials, particularly metals. It operates by dropping a diamond-tipped hammer from a fixed height onto the material in question. The depth to which the hammer penetrates the material is then measured, and this measurement is correlated to the hardness of the material using a specific scale. The scleroscope is particularly useful in applications involving the hardness testing of materials in industrial and engineering contexts.
